Show us yer shelfies!

Pickman probably needs to bend his neck 90 degrees to be able to read what's written on a spine. Most people manage just by looking at it straight on.

 

[Sea Star]

just seen this. I'll do mine tonight!

 

[grubby local]

Love it! Here's mine. Drastically reduced for travel reasons. Back in London I organised my books according to colour because I could always remember the covers so made it easy to find. Predominently orange and black as I recall. Looked pretty too. Anyway ...

Observation tells me different. And I expect I've seen rather more people looking at shelves than you have.

Was in an academic's office a couple of years back where he'd taken all his penguin classics and shelved them separate

I know it's hard to grasp, but my shelves only need to serve my requirements.

E2a: nice straw man tho

These are my main bookshelves. You can't see all my books becasue I've got some double stacking going on. And some of my DVDs have got onto here too.

and yes, I also got one of the base bits the wrong way round - to be sorted when i get round to moving house.

There's a few more that I sued to have (e.g. Easy Riders Raging Bulls) and I'll warrant we share more than a few titles in that stack of Pelican/Penguin Specials (odds-on you have The Squatters, Obsolete Communism and The Tupamaros)...

I see you also have Bass Culture (a popular choice amongst the class), and are BB with stethoscope via the medium of Wayne Anthony's Class Of 88!

 

[Ground Elder]

Have the Squatters, but don't know the other two I'll take some maybe in focus shots of some other shelves when I'm not sitting in the dark. I noticed a quite a few swaps with stethoscope

At first glance it didn't look like we were BBs but on further embiggenification it appears we may be, borderline:

• Watchmen
• League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 1
• League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 2
• The Secret Agent
• Them: Adventures With Extremists

I like the look of the shelves in the bottom pic in particular

 

[DaveCinzano]

Have the Squatters

I knew it!

...don't know the other two

Obsolete Communism: The Left Wing Alternative was the one written (in a rush) by Dany Cohn-Bendit (well, actually mostly written by his brother Gabriel) in the aftermath of les événements in May 1968.

Obsolete communism: The left wing alternative - Daniel and Gabriel Cohn-Bendit

The Tupamaros from 1973 was written by Alain Labrousse, and sported a rather natty cover.

Review from 1974:

Frank Roberts: The Tupamaros - Rise and Fall (February 1974)

• The New Radicals

Think I have The Hornsey Affair knocking around somewhere too, might have Industry And Empire too, and I definitely borrowed the Kettle/Hodges Uprising! from the library many moons ago

Knuckle Sandwich sounds intriguing

Something like this would be ideal (although not sure about the weird brown ceiling).

my Sci Fi book case

we have the same copies of Dune and sequels and PK Dicks Second Variety, and the IM banks

 

[Sea Star]

I keep meaning to post up my other small piles of books and the second rows back on my main book case.

One day I'm going to buy a second book case, spread them all out in single rows, and have enough space to start buying more!

Might sound like a divvy question - but how is it best to upload my own photos from a samsung s7?
